I recently purchased a KW TK-5210-K2 version 1 firmware, however I am not new to the TK-5210 model as I use one for work that is department issued. All of our work frequencies, however, are analog. I have full programming capabilities for my radio. Our sheriff's department where I live went with a conventional P25 frequency within the last year, and I know they're still new to it.
What I am after is experiences with the TK-5210 on P25 frequencies. I have programmed the correct frequency, NAC, and am receiving signal. However, here is where my problem lies. I live approximately 2 miles from the repeater site and from the dispatch center. There are times where the signal I am receiving is broken up or completely unheard. For example, on a routine traffic stop, I can hear dispatch talking (whether clear or broken up) but sometimes I can't hear the officer at all. My green light flashes, but I receive no signal. Other times, I can hear an officer on the other side of the county clear as day and not broken up. I do have other frequencies in the set zone and on scan, however this frequency is set as priority, so there should be no problem there.
Obviously I am new to the P25 system, so it might just be something I did wrong. Has anyone else had problems with this?
Thank you in advance,
Dan
